Salares House | Well-maintained, independent finca in the foothills of Andalusia, just for you

4 Bedroom House in Salares, Axarquia

Fuente de Hierro, the "iron spring", has been the name of the country for many centuries on which your finca with old trees stands. Even the Moors stopped here on their way from the coast via the Sierra to Granada and fetched their water here. During your stay on your finca you can have approx. (2x) 150 m² living space (ground floor, upper floor) with weather-controlled underfloor heating.
The pool is heated on request.
Depending on the position of the sun, you can choose between an east, south or west roof, pool or grill terrace.
You can enter the ground floor either directly from the large parking lot via the dining room or via the living room / south terrace. The kitchen, all doors and cupboards were made by a carpenter from Vélez-Málaga for Fuente de Hierro. Natural and earth colors characterize the interior of the finca. The walls have been specially cleaned in a rustico style, just as the fincas all looked much earlier.

The weather-controlled underfloor heating is simply very pleasant, especially for the transitional period or for the winter months.

Summary: Wonderfully well equipped - the kitchen has every gadget you could wish for and everything outside and inside has been thought of. Everything is of really high quality - from the gas bbq to the underfloor heating. Beds are comfy, bathrooms are excellent. There are at least four different areas to enjoy outside - a pool balcony with bbq; a roof terrace, a ground terrace and table tennis table. We loved the location - you can walk straight out into the National Park and hike to a local village (30-45 minutes).The host was exceptionally responsive and really cared that our stay was as perfect as it could be. An absolute gentleman. This villa is perfect for two groups as it is actually two completely self contained apartments upstairs and downstairs. Probably the best villa we have stayed in in Andalucia. Thank you!

Summary: Ralph’s place is very well cared for, very clean and has great views. The house has everything you need. Check in was very easy. Be prepared for the drive up, it is a beautiful place but the roads and very windy and it takes around 30-35mins to get to the bottom. We did have an issue with wasps, dozens flying around the pool and in the pool. I’d recommend nearby restaurant Venta El Curro

Summary: This is probably the most well equipped villa we've ever stayed in. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and little things like suncream, spare chargers and adaptors made all the difference. There is tons of space, inside and outside. The finca is beautifully positioned, in stunning countryside, totally private and secluded. Nonetheless, it is still only 15 minutes from the little town, which has a little grocery shop for basics. Competa is only a couple of minutes further and has a full supermarket, and a number of restaurants. Restaurante Contijo Paco is highly recommended! Back to the villa, the beds are comfortable, the wifi reliable and the air con efficient. The pool is fabulous- be aware there are HUNDREDS of wasps, but they are not at all aggressive, and fishing them out of the pool became a daily game for my youngest! This is not a villa for party people, or those who want an English pub nearby, but for those who want to experience proper rural Spain, and who value peace and quiet, I cannot recommend the finca highly enough. We cannot wait to return! Thank you Ralf for our care and attention, and letting us stay in your beautiful property.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Ralf’s place. The accommodation was lovely and peaceful and there’s lots of different exterior spaces to enjoy. The views are amazing. The pool terrace was particularly lovely to chill and relax. Would recommend going to the supermarket on your way to the Finca as there are no local shops close by, the last leg of the journey is off road so bear this in mind. The kitchen was fully equipped which was perfect for our stay. Ralf was a very attentive and responsive host. Would highly recommend this property.

Summary: What can I say ...apart from this place is AMAZING. The communication from the owner from the moment we booked to when we landed back in the UK was absolutely fantastic . We went with our friends so the seperate apartments were great to allow us our own personal space . The pool area is fantastic too!! The road up is off road at a certain point but we managed with 2 little fiat 500's and the directions from Ralf were spot on ! We did call at the local Lidl ( 30 mins approx)from airport before arriving at Finca , which is a must so you can just chill for a few days . The place is more than well equipped for everyone's needs . This was the first time our friends have experienced a week in a Finca and off the beaten track and are totally smitten ... who wouldn't be ... you get your own space, a great pool , outside area and stargazing at its best So thanks Ralf for an amazing stay and hope we get to come back again!!!

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at this property. Ralf was an exceptional host and was always contactable and on hand to answer any questions we had. As others have stated, the property is a bit off the beaten track and some of the roads take a bit of getting used to but once you’ve mastered the roads you’ll love the location. The finca is located on top of the mountains away far enough away from the handful of other villas so you have the peace but close enough that you don’t feel isolated. The property is around 1 Hour 15 Minutes from Malaga airport; you’ll 100% need a car and a top tip would be to visit the shops before you arrive as it’s about 30 minutes back to a big supermarket! As for the property itself it is split into 2 very good sized villas which also works well as 1. We used both and loved having a kitchen next to the pool area. Each bedroom has aircon including the smaller single bedroom upstairs. The BBQ area is excellent and even includes a washing area and a fridge (for beer ... or food!) Lots of outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the views including a covered terrace area if you feel like it but the stars are so visible you probably won’t want to miss them! The swimming pool is great and we had plenty of room for 10 of us. The pool slopes from shallow to deep; deep is around 2 meters. Outdoor shower is heated ... pure luxury. The villa is very well equipped with all you’d need to stay for weeks on end so don’t pack towels or any kitchen equipment as you won’t need your own. We enjoyed walks around the mountains and day trips to the beach (30 mins) and Competa for ice cream (15 mins). A few tips; Understand before you set off where the villa is and don’t trust Google maps to take you the best way ... do your research! Wasps were everywhere when it got hot as they wanted a drink from the pool and whilst they weren’t aggressive they could be quite annoying! Do your shopping on your way from the airport. Roads are bumpy so consider hiring a 4x4/SUV. We had a fantastic time and I recommend this property for a family getaway if you are looking for relaxation or a beautiful base to explore the mountains. Thank you Ralf for your hospitality.

Summary: My 7 friends and I stayed at finca Fuente de Hierro for 4 nights last week to celebrate two birthdays. We were slightly apprehensive about the journey up to the finca from reading previous reviews but actually we managed it perfectly fine. Ralf helpfully sent some directions ahead of time which didn't mean much at the time but made sense as we drove up. You will definitely need to hire a car for this holiday! We were all amazed by the finca. So well-equipped, it had everything we could have wanted to make ourselves comfortable. The pool was nice and warm as we had requested and well worth the extra money to get it up to temperature! The villa has two living areas (1 on each floor), 4 double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms and 1 single bedroom without. The seating areas outside are lovely and have BBQs for alfresco dining. Ralf was so kind and helpful throughout the holiday. He gave me his Whatsapp number and was happy to answer questions throughout the day. The only thing that could perhaps be improved on, is a guide book for guests inside that details things like: what to do with the rubbish, how to work the lights (they are all labelled in German), and also things like nice walks to go on, restaurants and shops within the local area etc. Ralf is of course on hand to answer these questions but I did feel like I was pestering him a bit at times! Overall, we would definitely recommend this villa to any group or family looking for a nice quiet break in the sunshine.

Summary: Although initially it was a bit difficult to find Finca Fuente de Hierro, but it was very much worth the effort. It is a great house, more than completely furnished and with a excellent swimming pool. We enjoyed the house itself, the impressive views, the swimming, BBQ in the evening and fantastic hikes in the hills around the house. Ralf Hansen is a true host and in the meantime the house has been made more easy to find. Very much recommended

Summary: The owner and the housekeeper were very kind and we feld at home. The house was clean and comfortable, even for 12 persons. The garden and the enviroment were beautifull and we had a nice sight. We loved to visit the village of Competa, there are a lot of good restaurants and in the week-end there was music and a Famingo dancer. The only minus was the road in the mountains and the distance to the nearest shop. We all enjoyed our stay and we would recommand this Finca to everybody. Kind regards from Belgium
